Step by step solution

01

Classification of radicals

Radicals or free radicals are molecules with one unpaired electron.

  • 10Carbon radical: The carbon radical is bonded to one carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms.
  • 20Carbon radical: The carbon radical is bonded to two carbon atoms and one hydrogen atom.
  • 30Carbon radical: The carbon radical is bonded to three carbon atoms.
